The purpose of the presentation
- to introduce the author-paper-concept network for scientometrics
- what is it
- how it can serve the field
- to call collaborations on building up such a network all together
The network

Entities and links
- The concept layer: concepts with their logical conenctions
- The paper layer: papers connected by citations
- The author layer: researchers connected by mentor-mentee relation
- Inter layer connections: author-writes-paper, paper-studies-concepts
A model
- A data structure for the major elements of scientometrics
- Inspires/converts scientometrical questions into mathematical questions
- For the development of algorithms/methods
- Also a platform for practice, decision making
With it, what can be done
- Clustering papers and concepts into topics/fields/disciplines
- Evaluate creativity of papers/authors
- Get an overview of the whole field, for researchers and administrators
- Help the development of science, ultimately
- Can also help teaching and learning
A language for
- scientometrical data
- scientometrical questions
- practice as a decision-making tool for researchers and administrators
- teachers and learners
- method of analysis
- ways of thinking
Questions
- Thank you for your time and critical input
- Together, we can make a difference
- To build the author-paper-concept network for each discipline
- To form a human knowledge highway, for researchers, teachers/learners, and administrators
